Glasshouse

although it appeared like vision
stretching time; slowing down
like a fire without sound
and I think I heard silence
for the first time it hit me
that I had nothing more
that I was going home
and I sat there for hours
at the edge of a river
and I saw nothing more
is this all? nothing more?
only on the top of the glasshouse
and the face throwing stones
hasn’t ever atoned
and I sat there for hours
at the edge of a river
and I saw nothing more
and I saw nothing more
and I think I heard silence
for the first time it hit me
that I had nothing more
that I was going home
and I sat there for hours
at the edge of a river
and I saw nothing more
is this all? nothing more?

on the phone you were dull
at the first hint of snow
we were never quite right
hope was never enough
but we had it that day
and I’m always amazed
that you started to say
as the light pulled away
floating to the stars above
falling in and out of love
daylight would have to wait
fading on the longest day
but in only a month
we’d be honest enough
that the fight was all gone
and her highness had won
though I know its quite late
and the tables have turned
and it’s never the same
as that day on the run
floating to the stars above
falling in and out of love
daylight would have to wait
fading on the longest day

Slumberland

he woke just then to what? he wasn’t sure
and found her feverish
and standing in the sun
it struck him all at once that he was lost
he hadn’t a plan for this
or anything at all
oh, why must we move on?
can’t we be left alone?
to wander in our own slumberland
as we hit all the stars
that further drift afar
we have it all; we won’t dream no more
as the day wore on he traveled more
and knocked on all the doors
that hadn’t tumbled down
he stayed awake with her and told his love
that she would run free in days
but days were all they had
oh, why must we move on?
can’t we be left alone?
to wander in our own slumberland
as we hit all the stars
that further drift afar
we have it all; we won’t dream no more
as his life moved on he wandered more
from that departed door
so stately on that hill
but he was always drawn to wander stars
that’s where they’re dreaming
dreaming
that’s where they’re dreaming
that’s where they’re dreaming
dreaming

Awake At Night
03:53

|
his hands are small
they settle down
to rest upon his lap
his mind’s at ease
he breathes night air
there’s nothing much to see
and I like watching him
fighting to stay awake at night
his eyes they close
for just a wink
his head drifts slowly south
sleep descends
in the still night air
but he won’t give it peace
and I like watching him
fighting to stay awake at night
he holds his own
for quite some time
but can’t avoid the end
the crickets sing
his lullaby
the wind picks up his dreams
it’s all that I need tonight
it’s all that and everything to me

Just Not Today

I left a message for myself
it was on the stairs last night
and I passed it going out
and you passed it coming back
don’t you know just to fade away?
don’t you know just to fade away?
I liked the concept; I liked your hair
it propped me up; I’m filled with air
but it had no permanence
like my own disfigurement
don’t you know just to fade away?
don’t you know just to fade away?
just to fade away
just not today

Famous For Her Dress
05:25

“famous for her dress” was all that she could say
before tearing up
she’d turn and hesitate
as if she found the strength
but then it all came out
“why did she have to stay?”
“and if it hadn’t rained…..she would still be here”
she hadn’t found the strength quite yet
to lay the past at rest at night
she watched the lights of cars go by
imagining another life
as the green of summer fades
and gives way to the chill
she can’t give it up
“why did she have to stay?”
“and if it hadn’t rained…..she would still be here”
she hadn’t found the strength quite yet
to lay the past at rest at night
she watched the lights of cars go by
imagining another life

The Great Pretend

we were on the other side
heading south without goodbyes
stayed awake for hours on end
don’t give up or just pretend
if the phase has run its course
and dropped down its own reward
far enough for all to see
falling on my own two feet
don’t give up on us

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul
supported by 7 fans who also own “Like A Fire Without Sound”
Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too.
